YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND A LOT OF SUNSHINE IN MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
(Lew Brown / Rubey Cowan, 1918)
Oh! the blues have flown away because
I'm going home today To Kentucky,
I'll be lucky when I'm back again
Oh! the humming of the bees, and the birdies in the trees
Make me happy, oh, so happy with their melodies
Oh! I rise at early morn and help to plow the fields of corn
Then I wander 'way down yonder to my sweetie Sue
All the boys around the farm, how they rave about her charm
They're so jealous, oh, so jealous when she's holding my arm
You'll always find a lot of sunshine, in my old Kentucky home
In the southern atmosphere
All your worries disappear
You hear the darkies 'neath the trees, playing old time melodies
And they croon a little tune of my old Kentucky home
You'll always find a lot of sunshine, when my dear old mother's near.
My sweetie Sue she's just a little bunch of sunshine, too
And if you go down there midst all that splendor
Stop! Look! I know you'll surrender, to the sunshine of my old Kentucky home.
